                   UNANIMOUS CONSENT REQUEST--S. 1853

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the legislative session, that the Finance Committee be 
discharged from further consideration of S. 1853, a bill to extend 
unemployment insurance benefits for displaced workers, that the Senate 
proceed to its immediate consideration, the bill be read the third time 
and passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Mr. FRIST. Reserving the right to object, Mr. President, the 
unemployment insurance is an issue we will continue to discuss with our 
colleagues. The House has not yet acted on unemployment insurance. It 
is an issue we will continue to have under discussion as we go forward.
  With that said, I do object.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
